About three dozen police officers will be fitted with body cameras in New York by this weekend, as part of a three-month pilot program. The tiny, flat cameras that look like pagers can be clipped on a vest, similar to a tie-clip microphone, and film events as they take place. They are light, and authorities insist they will not hamper the authorities' work."The NYPD body camera program will increase trust building between the police & community," the New York Police Department tweeted on December 3, 2014. Mayor Bill de Blasio hailed the tool as "one of the ways to create a real sense of transparency and accountability -- one of the ways we can bring police and community closer together."
